Humans will never thrive in space, unless we turn into digital brains housed in radiation-hardened robot bodies.
In which case you might as well turn everyone on earth into digital brains in normal robot bodies and skip the space shit.
- yellowapple 4y agoNever say never. Just because we have to put more effort into life support doesn't mean we have to forego our fleshy meatbags entirely to thrive.
- xnx 4y agoColonization of other planets/solar systems/galaxies by human bodies is so ridiculously difficult that becoming post-human becomes the practical choice.
- yellowapple 4y agoI disagree, based on the fact that we're continuing to make further and further progress on manned space exploration v. borderline zero progress on becoming post-human; it's readily apparent, given existing progress, that the former is the more practical choice in the relatively-near-term by a rather wide margin.
